They are made by the FPGA on the step generator board. In the modified code for CNC Pro it was a simple inp and outp to write the the generator board. If the broken pipe problem is simply something with the parport driver (and not deeper in Linux), then I think I can work with the problem. If it was in Linux, I'd be stuck. Now to see if I can get the source coded down on to my computer and start investigating the parport driver.

Since I would like to also run under EMC2 I loaded the Ubuntu 10.04 and started running the Stepconf wizard. I changed the port address to 0x170 and then tried to jog the X axis (just to see if I could get signal access on the IDE port). I ended up getting an error about a broken pipe I am absolutely no expert, but I suspect that the problem is that the parport driver expects to find a parallel port, not an IDE port and some form of handshaking is breaking down. It also sounds like you want to use the port for comms to a step generator, not for actual step/dir signals so I suspect a specific driver will be required, though that might not need to do very much more than inb and outb to the port address. -- atp Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men -- Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users -- Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users -- Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

Computer No1 has: Athlon 1GHz processor, 384 Mb memory and 4GB hard drive and works great except there's no network connection (nothing to do with Linux) it just doesn't recognise the pci network card, which would make updates easier. I did try downloading Deb updates with a usb pendrive, but I got into such a mess that I reinstalled Ubuntu-EMC2. With this computer I normally use a Usb WLAN adapter to get online but I believe this has been disabled in EMC2. Computer No2 has: Athlon 800 MHz processor, 512 MB memory and 20 GB hard drive shared with windows XP on seperate partitions. The graphics card is an ATI Rage 128. The network card works ok so I can easily update. I have used this computer with Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 without any problems to speak of. When I run Ubuntu 8.04+EMC2 everything works ok except when I start EMC2 it freezes right away before it even finishes drawing the Axis page. The keyboard stops working, only the mouse works but the cursor turns solid black and has no effect on anything on the desktop and I can only get out of it by turning off or resetting the computer I have triple checked the cd, with md5sum after downloading, I have verified the disk after burning and I have checked the disk when running the cd at bootup. I have run Stepconfig on both computers and the stepper motors run fine on both. I thought at first the problem may have been because I updated Ubuntu 8.04 EMC but I have tried it from the live disk and the result is still the same. Can anyone suggest a way getting round this problem? I am not too clever with Linux, I am more at home with Windows XP. If instructions are clear and straightforward I manage ok. I have yet to find a tutorial to get a good grounding in Linux. How did you guys learn linux, there must have been a time when it seemed like a foreign language to you? Hoping some wise or kind person can help me .
